Arabic vocabulary
How to say “be granted” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وحسن الثناء عليه شيئاً لم يفتح على أحد قبلي ثم يقال يا محمد ارفع رأسك، سل تعطه، واشفع تشفع،
The praise of him was so excellent, something not granted to anyone before me. Then it is said, O Muhammad, raise your head, ask and you will be given, and intercede and your intercession will be accepted.
يُفْتَحْ — be granted. A passive present-shaped verb forced by the preceding negator into a past-negative: the passive vowels mark the favour as received, not done, so 'was never granted', with no doer named. Vowel-change, not a helper word, makes it passive.
From: The Prophet's Intercession →OpenArabic teaches words like يُفْتَحْ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
